Soil Amendment With Green Soils Company

At Green Soils Company, we specialize in improving soil health through soil amendment services. By recycling organic materials, introducing helpful products, and minimizing waste, we create renewed soil.

Understanding how to improve soil quality through amendments is crucial because healthy plants start in healthy soil. Find out more about several common types of soil and amendments.

What Is Soil amendment?

You know that improving soil quality is important, but what is soil amendment exactly? A simple soil amendment definition is the addition of a product that enhances the usefulness of soil. More specifically, soil amendments can help change the structure and composition of soil, as opposed to fertilizers which temporarily introduce chemical elements.

Common Soil Issues

Some common issues that can be resolved with soil amendments include:

High or low pH levels
Nutrient deficiency
Low or nonexistent organic matter percentage
Poor/excessive drainage
High salinity

*Screening is included in our soil amendment process

Common Soil Amendments

Before introducing amendments, it’s important to complete a soil test and determine the specific needs of your plot.

Organics

Potassium (K)

Nitrogen (N)

Phosphorus (p)

How Does soil amendment work?

When soil amendments are added to different types of soil, the composition changes, making it more fertile and productive.

Clay Soil

Clay soil can be very dense and hard to work with. The most helpful soil amendments for clay are different types of organic matter like compost, bark, and even manure.

Sandy Soil

Sandy soil is relatively easy to work with, but often needs help with composition and water retention. Amendments like clay, organic matter, and peat moss can all help improve sandy soil.

Loamy Soil

The physical composition of loamy soil is usually the best, but pH levels and nutrients can vary widely. Loamy soil benefits from sulfur soil amendments, lime, biochar, and organic matter, depending on its needs.

Add compost and
organic matter

Along with compost (decayed food and other matter), there are several ways to incorporate more organic matter into your top soil. Manure, mulch, and peat moss can all help boost organic activity.

Use cover crops

Cover crops like grass, legumes, and forbs create a protective covering in your soil, and add important nutrients like nitrogen.

Prevent erosion

Cover crops and mulch help prevent erosion, but you can also use things like stone or wood chips to manage top soil integrity in areas that aren’t currently planted.

Green Soils amended our soil on-site, and the quality was exceptional—much better than bringing in new topsoil.
